Summary of We Own the Night [Blu-ray]Columbia Pictures We Own The Night (Blu-ray) What if your own family stood in the way of everything you worked for?Bobby Green (Joaquin Phoenix) has forsaken his name to escape his family and their tradition in lawenforcement to pursue his ambitions as a Brooklynnightclub owner. As he turns a blind eye to the drug dealers around him, he comes face to face withthe family he abandoned when his brother (Mark Wahlberg) and father (Robert Duvall) crack down on the club. Now Bobby must choose a side. Is he goingto turn informant or will he help run the biggestcrime ring in New York history?. In We Own the Night, Joaquin Phoenix, whose eyes burn with sullen anger even when he's looking at the woman he loves, plays Bobby Green, a nightclub manager in the 1980s who gets caught between his blood family he tried to leave behind--a long line of police officers--and his chosen family of friends and business partners, who turn out to be drug dealers. His father (Robert Duvall) and brother (Mark Wahlberg) want Bobby to help their investigation, but Bobby resists--until the conflict takes a brutal turn. Writer/director James Gray wears his influences on his sleeve; he's clearly seen every movie that Martin Scorsese and Francis Ford Coppola ever made and aspires to follow in their footsteps. The familiarity of the movie's territory dilutes its impact, but the plot of We Own the Night remains unpredictable, the performances have a clean vitality, and Gray's moody visual style brings some life to the genre. Phoenix (Walk the Line) dives into his role, sifting through layers of guilt and familial resentment; Wahlberg and Duvall play parts they've essentially played a dozen times, but do so with commitment and integrity. Also featuring Eva Mendes (Ghost Rider) as Bobby's devoted girlfriend, who questions just how much she'll have to give up for him. --Bret Fetzer Beyond We Own the Night  On DVD |  Original Soundtrack | Stills from We Own the Night (click for larger image)
